The radionuclide brain scans performed on a gamma camera (GC scans) in 146 patients over 65 years of age during a 6-month period are reviewed. Forty-four scans (30.1%) were reported as showing an abnormality. Three patients subsequently underwent surgery and drug therapy was commenced in 11 cases. However, in most cases the GC scan proved unhelpful in the patients' management. The usage and role of GC scanning in elderly patients admitted with a neurological disorder is examined.
回顾了在6个月期间对146名65岁以上患者进行的γ相机放射性核素脑扫描(GC扫描)。44次扫描(30.1%)报告显示异常。3名患者随后接受了手术,11例开始了药物治疗。然而,在大多数情况下,GC扫描对患者的治疗并无帮助。研究了GC扫描在患有神经系统疾病的老年患者中的应用和作用。
